hd7990 "malta" vs devil 13

[dragantoe]

I was just wondering the difference between the amd "malta" card everyone is yelling about, vs powercolor's devil 13 7990 that came out in august.

Better drivers mostly, I don't think the card is going to be much different.

I believe the Malta card is new silicon and has some enhancements aka GCN Part 2.
Looking forward to seeing what that brings to the table.

something to do with dynamic boost abilities if i'm not mistaken.

It should be between 0% and 100% faster.

Just wait for reviews. Nobody knows yet.

Malta should have lower power consumption since it requires 2x 8pin instead of 3x 8pin.

Unless its an improved architecture, it won`t be much faster than 7990 DEVIL. The only thing that separates them is 1500MHz for Malta and 1375MHz for DEVIL on GDDR5.

It should be between 0% and 100% faster.

thank you

If AMD fixes the drivers upon release = WIN for everyone.
